Beloved Harlem deer died for the sins of Gov. Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio
NY Daily News ^ | December 17, 2016 | Gersh Kuntzman

Of all of the players in the zoological drama that led to today’s death of Harlem’s beloved deer — Mayor de Blasio, Gov. Cuomo and the cervine himself — only the deer is completely innocent.

Inside the Gov. Cuomo, Mayor De Blasio feud

The governor and the mayor? Perhaps someone can arrange for both of them to be transported elsewhere.

Let’s remember the facts: Sometime late last month or early this month, a deer showed up in Harlem’s Jackie Robinson Park, delighting residents and not really bothering anyone.

But on Thursday, he fled to a nearby housing project and city officials captured him, citing a threat to public safety.

Then the city issued a death sentence. “Because transporting deer causes them great stress and because relocated deer have very low survival rates,” Parks Department spokesman Sam Biederman told the Times, “the city still believes that the most humane option here is euthanasia.”

Gov. Andrew “Bigfoot” Cuomo did it again, overstepping Mayor de Blasio and playing a role in the death of Harlem’s deer.

That’s some pretty screwed-up talk, reminiscent of Vietnam-era strategy of destroying a village just to save it. In essence, the city was saying that taking the deer’s life was a better option than allowing the stressed-out deer to live.

Dear oh deer

Enter Gov. Cuomo, whose spirit animal is obviously Sasquatch. Andrew “Bigfoot” Cuomo did what he always does: he pressured the city to change its plan — in this case, to relocate the deer instead of kill it.

The result? The deer died anyway — a victim of the very stress that the de Blasio administration predicted yet didn’t actually have a plan for.

He couldn’t have been lured back to a park?

He couldn’t have been treated by an animal shrink?

He couldn’t have been just left alone?

No, he had to become a pawn of the latest battle between Gov. Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio.

Rest in peace, you cute little deer. Your blood is on our leaders’ hands.

Look - the deer can’t pay city taxes.

It should not exist, therefore...

Now if it was an undocumented Mexican or Syrian deer, it would have enjoyed sanctuary city treatment.

Deer can be pretty dangerous, especially to a bunch of people who don’t understand how dangerous a deer can be.

This is by Gersh Kuntzman. Remember him? He's the pansy who had a meltdown when he fired an AR-15. The trauma left him in tears and with soiled panties.

Nothing this sniveling wimp writes should be read by anyone with a conscience.

Who.....the majority in places like NYC (except Staten Island) love them and their Ilk. Without NYC, NY State is deep Red.

Gersh Kuntzman is the pajama boy who suffered PTSD after he fired an AR-15, and later suggested that the majoritarians (Hillary supporters) should rise up against Trump supporters because there are million more of them than us.

I’ll take them odds, pajama boy.

Deer more dangerous than Bernie Goetz? Seriously though have you ever been to Nara Japan? The deer roam the city’s parks and they are considered “the emperor’s deer”. It is forbidden to harm them. They coexist with the people just fine. Was not there for the rut season though.

I had a neighbor from India. He was a master gardener. His entire property was shrubs, small trees,vines, etc..... No grass whatsoever. Everything produced a fruit or edible thing. He kept a pygmy goat to keep everything trimmed up neatly at ground level to four feet up. The city fined him $110 per day until he got rid of the goat.

He would’ve been “stressed” they say.

Aren’t prisoners in jails stressed? Euthanize them.

More than half of Hillary’s vote margin came from Los Angeles County (1.6 million more votes than Trump).

I couldn’t get the info on Detroit’s final tally to load this morning.

Literally her “popular vote” victory comes down to the overage in 2 or 3 cities (and you don’t even need to look at NYC to arrive there).
